ASPIRE 2025 BioBook

Christie Berkowitz

I'm an interior designer living in Cumming, GA. I’ve been married to my husband, Richard, for 12 years, and we share our home with three wonderful pups—Asher, Finn, and Parker. I earned degrees from Berry College and Georgia Tech, and I currently work in I&S Planning, Design and Construction. My work focuses on projects for the College of Business, the College of Lifetime Learning, and Centrally Scheduled Classrooms, where I enjoy creating thoughtful, functional spaces that support learning and collaboration. Design has always been a passion of mine, and I love the challenge of blending aesthetics with purpose. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader, a hobbyist bread baker, and a big fan of concerts and musicals. I also enjoy hiking, playing video games

with Richard and spending time with friends—especially when it involves anything Dolly Parton related. Whether I’m designing a classroom or baking a fresh loaf of sourdough, I find joy in the details and in creating experiences that bring people together.
